A Texas oilman died and went to heaven. After a few days, his bragging was getting on St. Peter’s nerves. No matter what part of paradise he was shown, the oilman claimed it failed to measure up to Texas. Finally, St. Peter took him to the edge of heaven so he could look straight into hell. “Have you got anything like that in Texas?” the saint demanded. “No,” the oilman replied. “But I know some ol’ boys down in Houston who could put it out.” Regardless of their skill, however, no one in Texas could put out the fires of hell. Modern man has certainly tried, through ignoring it, claiming it doesn’t exist, and so on.

God has said that the fires of hell will burn forever. And that’s exactly what they will do. When we finally get a grasp of the real horror of hell, our personal witnessing, our singing, our teaching and our preaching will take on a new urgency as never before. How can we stand by and allow others to slide into an eternity where they will burn forever? How can we sit on the Greatest News The World Has Ever Heard?--Rocky Henriques, www.uticabc.com
